Create an exhibit for a prehistoric animal

1.1 Crassigyrinus are kept in a high-humidity, murky swamp tank. They are stocked with 30.30 Acanthodes, who are typically too agile and quick to be caught, as well as various algae, fern and horsetail species. The ground is silty and covered in weeds to provide camouflage to the Crassigyrinus, who are fed dead fish weekly. The tank is heated at around ninety degrees Fahrenheit and is well-filtered, despite its messy appearance. Eggs are collected every breeding season, because it left with the parents they will be cannibalized.

Cool exhibit, very well thought out. Your next species is Microraptor
 
Sarcosuchus would require a large enclosure, the animal would be house alone in order to avoid any possible conflict. Using (Crocodylus porosus) as a base, the exhibit would have a land area of 11,000 sq feet with a water area of 20,000 sq feet. There would also be an indoor area where keepers could interact and check on the animal with an additional 5,000 sq feet half land and half water for almost an acre of total space. The water depth would be 3 feet at the shallowest and 10 feet deepest. The water would be filtered and have a rock covered bottom to simulate an African river bed.

The exhibit would have an enclosed viewing area housing benches, recycling bins, restrooms and numerous educational displays the centerpiece would be a sculpture of fellow African prehistoric crocodilian Kaprosuchus. The viewing area would use small portholes for viewing the Sarcosuchus under the water and an elevated deck for above water viewing. For stimulation different feeding techniques would be employed including; holding meat above water to entice jumping and the use of live prey to encourage hunting.

Very well thought-out! Your next species is Kairuku grebneffi
 
Two species of Microraptor are housed in an incredibly large dome with hundreds of other feathered dinosaurs, ancient reptiles and mammals. Both species are separated from each other via transparent glass to prevent unwanted hybridization. The dome is filled with ancient trees with a tropical, humid climate, and the carnivory of some of the residents (like Microraptor, which could quite possibly go after some of the smaller birds) is solved by allowing lots of breeding, while feeding the animals regularly. The Microraptor specifically have a diet of fruit, fish and rodents. They are trained to fly over to the keepers for regular demonstrations and vet checks. All enrichment provided comes from the natural world around them; artificial toys and balls have been forgone to better replicate a accurate Cretaceous landscape.

Certainly! Your species is Gastornis

So, for backstory, I have a "Prehistoric Island" which has three zoos each dedicated to a sub-set of prehistoric life - a dinosaur zoo, a prehistoric "Sea World" aquarium and an Ice Age safari park. Gastornis is kept in the safari park.

A pair of Gastornis live in a large wooded enclosure that is largely modelled on the forest seen in the first episode of "Walking with Beasts", an episode Gastornis was also part of. As such, there are plenty of trees, plus some open areas for viewing purposes. A designated dirt patch is set aside for the birds to have a dust bath if they need one. An off-show breeding section, set-up in a similar way to the main exhibit, is also present. The Gastornis are given coconuts as regular enrichment. They were initially kept in the main safari reserve, but were moved to their own enclosure after they acted aggressively towards other animals, especially the park's free-roaming dodos.

Sounds cool! Your next species will be Estemmenosuchus
